THE dress code for today’s race meeting in York has been relaxed by organisers.

Given the forecast for continuing sunny and warm weather into the weekend, York Racecourse has announced that racegoers in County Stand are not required to wear a formal jacket, for this Saturday only.

Gentlemen still need to wear a collared shirt and tie in the premium area.

Those enjoying the lawns of Grandstand and Paddock or bringing a picnic to the Course Enclosure can dress in a more relaxed manner to suit the recent hot weather.
